Schema Summarization

Summary: Formalizes a compact, information-rich schema summary with two goals: minimize size and maximize coverage of important elements via query information. Uses multi-level abstract elements and links to cluster the schema and enable selective expansion; an objective metric validates reduced user effort. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
